Hogan's Heroes Anybody?

We had Spyforce which was very loosely based on the expliots of Z Force commando units.

Never heard of some of those shows. Ive heard of Black Sheep. I'll have to check them out.

Hogan's Heroes was an ok series, always good for a quick laugh. In comparision to M.A.S.H. it looks very tame: the humor stays on the surface and I miss some sting.

Spyforce was a wartime espionage adventure series produced by Roger Mirams. Unlike cliched American war films, most of which give the impression that the United States was the only country capable of saving the free world, Spyforce gives due recognition to the role Australia played while also avoiding formula battle stories.

What are you saying? So you mean, U-571 wasn't accurate then. The only reason we won the Battle of the Atlantic, was because the US captured the enigma machine, as potrayed by him:

Oh yes. From the moment 'Paint it Black' played the first time I was hooked.

Never seen any of these. Ive seen Mash, Black Sheep, and Hogan's Heroes.

They just as good/better than Hogan's Heroes?

I thought the first season was great but then they all went from being grunts in the field to some kind of fancy commando force with time to hang out in Saigon nightclubs with their round eye girlfriends and totally ruined it.

Same. Series one was pretty good but then it just went off the rails.

LOL Spyforce was made well before the myth of U-571 was dredged from the depths, but maybe there were other US films that portrayed the Pacific theatre in a slightly biased manner.
